Russian-born regional chess grand master Victor Malkin is skull-smashed in his hotel. Sven Hansen and Stadler first question his Rosenheimer challenger Georg Rieder, who publicly claimed Malkin cheated but has no proof and a motive: the sole Bavarian spot in a lucrative Abu Dhabi tournament. Malkin's wife Elsa Malkin had an affair with his manager Mark Wolf, and would lose his fortune if caught due to a prenuptial. Mohr finds on the tournament video tapes how Malkin's wife helped him cheat, but missing chess pieces and diamonds also fit in the plot. Meanwhile archaeologist Dr. Jens Schober tells Marie Hofer Roman coins found on her farm are worth a fortune, half for her and her co)owning brother Korbinian, but arouses suspicion after selling one cheap to publican Jo Caspar after dining without cash.
